About
"Positioned within a residential close of similar detached homes, the house sits back from the road with driveway parking and an attached garage.
The area is well placed for local schools, which are a key draw for buyers looking in this part of town" James Boyden - Chantries & Pewleys The house is entered through a secure lockable porch (with plumbing) into the entrance hall.
The sitting room is the main living space and is well proportioned with large windows flooding the room with natural light. A fireplace provides extra warmth on cold winter nights.
The dining room sits alongside and has direct access out to the garden.
This changes how the space is used, particularly in warmer months when the doors are open and the garden becomes an extension of the room.
It works well for everyday use but also holds its own as a more defined space when needed. The kitchen/breakfast room is arranged with a good amount of worktop and storage.
There is enough room for informal dining, which makes it a functional day-to-day space.
A window above the sink looks out to the front garden, which brings in natural light and keeps the space connected to what’s happening outside. A double-glazed door also provides useful side access.
A shower room off the entrance hall has a full suite with a large shower cubicle, vanity sink unit and W.C.
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms arranged around a central landing with built-in storage in every room. The bathroom includes a white suite with a bath, vanity wash hand basin and W.C.
A particular feature is the well-maintained and generously sized south-west facing rear garden, which is mainly laid to lawn and bordered by a variety of mature shrubs, trees, and established planting that provide a high degree of privacy.
A paved terrace adjoins the property, offering an ideal space for outdoor entertaining, with a further circular patio area creating an attractive focal point.
The garden enjoys a sunny aspect and features thoughtfully arranged beds with a mix of greenery and seasonal colour.
Enclosed by fencing and hedging, the space is both secure and inviting, perfect for families or keen gardeners alike.
A side access gate leads to the front where there is driveway parking alongside an attached garage. This provides both secure storage and everyday practicality.
